My life is Awkward…

I think my purpose in life is to do awkward things that most would find embarassing and never mention, and then tell them to the world to make them laugh. THUS….decreasing their stress level, increasing their quality and length of life, and as a result, making the people of the world live longer.
…..OR….I do awkward things and I am trying to make sense of them, but you all enjoy laughing at them.

so….about a week ago I am driving down Nickerson towards Westlake, when I encounter TRAFFIC. Now it’s night, the lights are bright, and there are cars everywhere. The two lanes going onto the bridge are moving but, mine is STOPPED. Now, I sit there for 20 MINUTES…and we haven’t moved at all.

my thoughts:oh my gosh, how have we not moved in 20 minutes, what the heck…seriously? I could have gone to the LA fitness on Aurora and been there by now. Seriously, what is the hold up…..

at about the last sentence I realized I had just answered that very question. ME. I was the hold up. For in front of me, was a PARKED CAR, no lights, no person, yup, just a parked car. And at this point, I had backed up traffic for ITLEAST a mile. So, what do you do? Here were my options….

1. I get out and place my AAA “needs service” sign on the car in front of me, then wave traffic on. I look like a hero and a good person, but eventually have to take the sign off, get back in my car and drive away….without the car ever getting service.

2. I start honking to create a fuss, go around the car and make it seem like someone is in the car…everyone would be so distracted by the honking that they won’t notice that no one is in the car.

3. I put my hazzard lights on and pretend that I have broken down, but, I really wanted to get to the gym.

4. abandon my car and make a run for it.

none of these seemed like sound solutions.

so…I FACED IT. I put my hood over my head, turned my blinker on and went AROUND the parked car. And, made A LOT of friends that night….

….and thus is my life.
